Russia uses flesh-melting thermite shells overnight against Ukrainian positions

Russia uses incendiary thermite shells bombing Ukrainian positions overnight as Vladimir Putin “demands firm dates” when his forces will seize Bakhmut. His forces are bombarding the Ukraine army with MZ-21 thermite shells fired from Grad multiple rocket launchers. These ignite with a combustion temperature of up to 2,700 degrees Celsius. Russian state media has highlighted the use of the thermite - or magnesium - ammunition at Bakhmut and apparently elsewhere in Donetsk region. Footage shows the thermite shell attack that happened overnight, as well as a previous attack from last month. The weapons were used against Ukrainian firing positions, it was reported.
